[1] The tour attracted over 500,000 people in Mainland China alone, breaking BigBang's own record for the most attended tour by a foreign language act of all time in China. Their event in Luoyang, China attracted over 45,000 people broke their previous record for the largest audience drawn by a foreign language act of all time in China.
